Build Community

WHEN WE COME TOGETHER WITH OUR NEIGHBORS AND TRULY UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER, WE CAN EMBRACE WHAT WE HAVE IN COMMON. THEN WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR YOUTH TO THRIVE.

Lodi Pride

What does Lodi Pride mean to you? For some, it is the incredible landscapes, for others it is the small town feel; still for others it is the great school district, silent sports or the great people. Lodi Pride means something different to each of us, but we can each show our pride in our community every day. When we have pride in where we live and in our community, kids grow up in an environment where they feel they can achieve almost anything.

The Lodi Pride campaign is a way for each of us along with community organizations, businesses, and schools can show our Lodi Pride.

Businesses and organizations can get banners that represent their Lodi Pride by contacting Paula Enger at paula@lodiaction.org or 608-334-7976

Individuals can get a Lodi Pride yard sign by stopping by the School District Office and purchasing one from the Lodi Athletic Boosters for $10.00

Parent Pledge

The “Parent Pledge” is a commitment from parents to their child and to other parents. Parents agree that youth will not have access to alcohol or other drugs in their home and they welcome communication with other parents.

The “Parent Pledge” allows parents to network with one another, closing the loopholes that allow youth to access alcohol without parental knowledge. Click here for more information and to take the "Parent Pledge!"

Alcohol Compliance Checks

“Increasing enforcement against retailers who sell to minors can have a substantial effect on alcohol sales to young people. Even moderate increases in enforcement can reduce sales to minors by as much as 35 to 40%, especially when combined with media and other community activities”
